Rajji slams Hezbollah as 'outlaw' group and its tripartite equation as outdated

Foreign Minister Youssef Rajji has said that Hezbollah chief Sheikh Naim Qassem “can say what he wants” about the so-called “army-people-resistance” equation but added that “the Lebanese people no longer want this outdated equation.”

“He certainly does not want to give up his weapons, but eventually he must find a solution,” Rajji said in an interview with the al-Quds al-Arabi newspaper.

“This is an outlaw armed group and it is not legitimate. We ask it to seek a solution, hand over its weapons and form a normal political party that has the creed it wants. I support total creed freedom and let its fighters return to their normal life and each member to his job,” the minister added.
